We loved the minimalist decor, matched by beautifully presented gustatory delights. From the chips and bread with kalamata butter to the outstanding (best I have ever tasted) tuna tartare, to the briliiantly prepared chicken and yellowtail snapper with oxtail to the mango mousse, all was superb. The service was impeccable with a kind and engaging staff. Bravo, Mario Pagan!

Fantastic experience at Cocina Abierta! The food and presentation were amazing. Truly a 5-star experience. We had the 5-course tasting menu and each course was great. Our favorite was the tuna carpaccio and beefsteak, but all were excellent. Puerto Rican fine dining at its best!
